THE PROCEEDINGS.

CLEVELAND, July 213,-ThespaciousM Music
Hall of the Forest City was crowded in
every part at eleven o'clock Thursday morn
ing when Henry BOIL, of the State Central
Committee raped the Democratic State
Convention to order. Six hundred and fifty
delegates, and as many alternatcs, occupied
the seats upon the ground floor, whila the
two tiers of galleries were sea of faces
and beautiful combination of white and
bright-hued feminine apparel. Back
of the elaborate display of exotics
and potted plants. which was
arranged upon the stage, sat four or five
hundred of the creme-de-la-crene of Ohio's
Democracy, and goodly number of the
fairest bellies of Cleveland, Columbus, Gin
cinnati, Toledo and other Ohio cities. A
bronze statute of liberty beamed down upon
the assemblage from the right of the chair
mans desk, and from the organ another
goddess, this one upon canvas, peeped coyly
from between the folds of two French tri-
colored flags. An enormous floral design
was pendantfrom the center of the ceiling
there was an abundant display of bunting,
and the entire ensemble was inspiring in
the extreme. The opening remarks of
Chairman Bohl were brief and to the point.
just as he had commenced Senator III. B.
Payne was escorted to a seat upon the stage
and his appearance was greeted with
feeble show at applause. The committe on
permanent organization submitted the
names of Hon. George g. Seney, of Seneca
County, for permanent chairman, and E. d.
Sawyer, of Cuyahoga County, for perma-
nent secretary. The popular representative
| of the Fifth Congressional district was re-
ceiVed with round after round of applause
when he assumed the position.

declined, and the first ballot resulted as
follows: Goldman, 3111z; Wadsworth, 81;
Tyler, 253.
Before the second ballot was commenced
Mr.. Powell was introduced and expressed
his thanks in an able but somewhat lengthy
speech, and Cons ressman Campbell pledged
his own fealty and that of his supporters to
the ticket.
At this point Tyler and Wadsworth were
Withdrawn and Goodman was nominated for

The first and only trouble of the day WR3
precipitated when the nomination for State
Auditor was reached. Emil Kies ewetler,
the present incumbent of the office, was
placed in nomination, and almost before
one-half of the delegates could comprehend
what was going on, motion to suspend
the rules and make the nomination by &C
clamation had been put and declared car
ried. Against this decision the Hamilton
while John Mcbride, the Stark County
labor agitator, declared, amidst consider
able excitement, that he would bolt the
nomination and take the stump against the
nominee unless fair play was granted. A
ballot was then called for on an appeal from
the decision of the chair, but at this point
Mr.. Kiesewetter poured oil on the troubled
waters by declaring, from the body Of the
hall, that he didn't want nomination to
which the stigma of gag-law might be at
tached.
By the unanimous consent of the conveu-
tion, the chair was allowed to undo all that
he had done in the matter, and Joseph G.
Curley, of Urbana, was placed In nomina-
tion by the Champlain County delegation.
The roll was called with the following re-
suit: Kiesewetter, 569: Curley, SO.
q. W. Harper, of Green county, was nom

W. H. Leet, of Putnam county, had no op-

nominee for member of the Board of Puhlie
Works. The principal contestants were
G. E. Addison, of Muskingum, and Pear
Murphy, OF Butler. The second ballot re-
suited: Murphy, 351; Addison, 307.

was too much for them. First one
delegate and then another got up
and said that he did not know what
the Crawford County Plan was," un-
! til it became apparent that a great
majority of these representatives of
the "party of intelligence had never
heard of the plan. One delegate,
whose advanced years enabled him to
speak in the wisdom of ripe expert
ence and observation, vouchsafed the
in nformation that he knew all about it,
for he had lived in Crawford county,
and had witnessed the working of the
plan. 1t was Crawford county, Ohio,
and it was Democratic plan. and he
didn't know about following any ex :
ample set by the vile Democracy.
Another delegate was equally positive
that Crawford comfy, Indiana, was
the one. One delegrate from Kent
arose and said that if the plan was a
relic of Democracy, 1T only strength
ed him in his opposition.

misunderstanding any interference by way of

This also may be taken with qualification in
regard to Meagher, of whom a member OF the

do not particularly care about his retention, al
though we would like to have as many as posi-

THE wiser heads of the Democrats see the
tom-fool bcggle that Green Smith and his
gang Of revolutionists have got themselves
into. The Democratic correspondent Of the
Evansville Courier, the leading Democratic
paper of the State, says in his dispatch, pub
lished yesterday:
s'The legal effect Of the Senate's refusal to
witness the count is creating some discussion,

not attempt physical violence to reach the

siding over the Senate does not make a
Lieutenant governor; and after Colonel Rob
ertson notifies that body that he is present
and ready to take his seat, if the Democrats
desire to resolve the Senate into mob, they
can do it. The orders emanating from Green
Smith or anybody else after that notification,
will have no more binding force than the

The Indianapolis Journal is a newspaper with
all that the name implies. It is not only the
leading Republican paper of the State and the
recognized organ of the party in Indiana, but it
is also one of the acknowledged leaders of the
party in the United States. Its utterances are
bold and fearless, sharp and effective, but al
ways honest and fatfooted. 1t is a terror to
political evil doers and a champion of honest re
form. In addition to its political features, the
Journal has literary flavor peculiarly its own
